Archive for the ‘Anne’s Car’ Category

Live at 11AM PST, it’s the first new page in a month! Yeah well…. I’ve started to notice how the weeks are my new days. Single, 24 hour days don’t seem like a whole “day” anymore to me. This means like, maybe I wanna take a small four day break… before I know it, it’s four weeks later. Blarf. Anyways, I’m hoping to get another page in on Friday and Monday and Friday, thus restarting the cycle.

In other news, I’ve been slowly working on the archive and have been cleaning pages up once again. I’ve finished the first 25 (as well as as #000). Other than general edits, the purpose of this really is just to strip the pages of the halftones, clean up the speech bubbles and other junk. You’ll see what I mean. This of course won’t be the last of the archive re-edits… ’cause the big task for the next time around will be to get rid of all the quote-unquote “lineshading” job I did on the backgrounds, which was done before I started adding shading to the comic. For example, here’s Anne’s car back in 2005, and this is is now. All those lines in the background of her car disappeared at some point (and her seats also magically went from light to dark). Them lines appear all over the place, but it’s a real summummabitch to edit out; thesepages are probably the worst offenders of this ill-fated lineshading technique… so I’ll get them all next time.

I spent a good three hours working on today’s comic…. I had pretty much everything but just a few pieces of text left only to have my laptop crash on me. It wasn’t until the computer restarted when I realized that my fucking dumb ass didn’t save my page even once! So there goes all my work down the drain. And now it’s 6:30am I haven’t gotten a lick of sleep yet…. and I gotta go to work all day Friday starting in the morning. FUCK.

So…. I guess I’ll have to get back to this page when I get back home after work, and it’ll be up for Saturday. AARGHH!!!!
